THE BERRY BEST

Monte Kiffin has just one request: he'd like to keep coaching Eric Berry, even though he admits such a dream isn't too likely.

"No, I just talk to him sometimes and say, 'Gosh, Eric, just think -- next year we do that same blitz.' And he'll say, 'Yeah, I remember that one, coach, let's run that.' Boy, wouldn't that be fun," Kiffin said. "But that's about as far as it goes. We move onto the next conversation."

Does Berry answer Kiffin's pleas for utilizing the same blitzes in the 2010 season?

"I wouldn't expect him to. I'm just joking around. He's a great guy, and I wish this guy could stay three more years," he said. "When that time comes, whatever happens, happens. We're just worried about the next game. I heard on the radio about him running through the 'T' and I don't know what's going to happen with that. I just know that Eric Berry, he is the best. I'm not just saying that. He's the best. What a team guy. I love the guy."
